Speedy deletion of Phoenix14news
A tag has been placed on Phoenix14news requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Please check that your new username has not already been taken by checking this list.

adding the unsourced stuff..
I did my best to trim up the article and make it suitable for Wikipedia, as well as dgging and finding the awards Phoenix14news has won over the years. While you may wish to add all the background information, that stuff best belongs on the company's own website. Anything added must be sourced to inpendent reliable sources (not affiliated with Phoenix14news or Elon). Re-adding all that background stuff about the stations operations is not encyclopedic and will be repeatedly removed. Please understand, its a trim and well-sourced article... or none at all.
